Ashes Mind Games Heat Up as Warner Targets Joe Root, Moeen Ali Calls It Out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy concluded, attention now shifts to the highly anticipated Ashes series beginning November 21 in Perth, where Ben Stokes\u2019 England will face Pat Cummins\u2019 Australia<\/a>. Though the series is still months away, the psychological battle has already begun, with former Australia opener David Warner attempting to unsettle England captain Joe Root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warner pointed to Root\u2019s struggle to score a Test century in Australia as a key weakness and suggested he would find it tough, especially against fast bowler Josh Hazlewood. However, England\u2019s Moeen Ali dismissed David Warner\u2019s remarks, calling him a \u201cclown\u201d for trying to get into Root\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just being Warner. He\u2019s a bit of a clown, to be honest with you. He\u2019s obviously trying to get into Rooty\u2019s head\u2014which he won\u2019t. He\u2019s not up for the whole banter thing. It\u2019s just Warner, isn\u2019t it?\u201d Ali said on the Beard Before Wicket<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ali also highlighted that India\u2019s sledging during the recent series failed to rattle Root, who remained composed even when provoked by Prasidh Krishna in the Oval Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRooty\u2019s scored so many runs now, he\u2019s been through the whole thing, and it won\u2019t affect him. India tried it, and it just didn\u2019t work\u2014clearly didn\u2019t\u2014because he scored loads of runs. But yeah, there are some players you can do that to, and others you can\u2019t,\u201d Moeen added.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did David Warner say?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recently, David Warner commented on Joe Root\u2019s Test record in Australia, highlighting the right-hander\u2019s struggle to score a century on Australian soil. Warner likened Root\u2019s batting stance to a \u201csurfboard,\u201d suggesting it makes him susceptible to Josh Hazlewood\u2019s inswingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way that he brings down his bat playing on Australian wickets, it can bring him undone, and I\u2019ve seen it in the past. I think he will have nightmares before he gets over there about Josh Hazlewood. A bit like me and Broady,\u201d Warner said while speaking at the Hundred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJoe is a hell of a cricket player, look at the runs he has scored, the second leading run-scorer in the world. But I\u2019m sure he\u2019d like to score a hundred in Australia. It\u2019s one that has eluded him. I think that will be on his mind, so we will have to wait and see,\u201d he added.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, England\u2019s Stuart Broad defended Root, pointing out that Hazlewood has dismissed him only three times in Tests, downplaying Warner\u2019s critique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
